(Salvador Hernandez) Broward County sheriff’s officials said in a statement late Saturday that they responded only to 23 calls involving suspected Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz or his family over the years, but records obtained by BuzzFeed News show at least 45 responses since 2008.

The number of calls made over the years involving Cruz or his family, according to the call records, are nearly twice the number publicly disclosed by the department.

On Saturday night, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office released a statement pushing back on reports that they had been called more than the 23 incidents released by the department.

My Commentary: And, the solution to all of these many police and FBI failures is to implement more laws? How innovative! Doubling down on the same, broken non-solution that already failed miserably, indicates not only a total lack of desire to improve the situation, but an underlying, opportunistic agenda to continue empowering, and increasing the size of, America’s police state.
